“Crescendo是从内部对古典音乐世界的一种非常诚实的看法，并且设法使它变得有趣和令人振奋，因为它是毁灭性的。”-凌凌黄，《完美无瑕》和《自然美》的作者
经典表演者奋斗，悲剧和胜利的有趣而激烈的回忆录-对于Vijay Gupta的Restrung，Jeremy Denk的《每个好男孩都很好》和Cheryl Strayed的《Wild》的读者
当美国小提琴家Anthea Kreston被选为德国Artemis四重奏的第四位成员时，这是数十年奉献精神的高潮。在她迷人而深刻的个人回忆录《渐强》中，克雷斯顿写道，她在芝加哥一个小康但困难的家庭中长大，十六岁离开家，在费城的超级竞争的柯蒂斯音乐学院学习 (希拉里·哈恩是同学)，然后烧光了，把一切都留给了俄勒冈州的一个公社。
一直以来，克雷斯顿从未停止演奏她心爱的小提琴，随着时间的过去，她找到了回来的路，跻身古典音乐世界之巅。她坦率地写道，与多年的不孕症作斗争，以及作为一名从事表演事业的母亲所面临的挑战。当她将年轻的家庭搬到德国时，在弦乐四重奏永无止境的压力下，她努力保持自己的真实，并维持自己的婚姻。充满热情和机智 (克雷斯顿曾经为爱尔兰警察扮演 “丹尼男孩” 而从交通罚单中脱颖而出)，Crescendo是对艺术的诚实，最终是庆祝性的反思，雄心壮志，以及构成生活的选择。

“Crescendo is a searingly honest look at the classical music world from within and manages to be as funny and uplifting as it is devastating.”—LING LING HUANG, author of Immaculate Conception and Natural Beauty
A funny and fierce memoir of a classical performer’s struggles, tragedies, and triumphs—for readers of Vijay Gupta’s Restrung, Jeremy Denk’s Every Good Boy Does Fine, and Cheryl Strayed’s Wild
When American violinist Anthea Kreston is selected as the fourth member of Germany’s Artemis Quartet, it is the culmination of decades of dedication. In Crescendo, her enchanting and deeply personal memoir, Kreston writes about growing up in a well-to-do but difficult family in Chicago, leaving home at age sixteen, studying at the ultracompetitive Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia (Hilary Hahn was a classmate), then burning out and leaving it all behind for a commune in Oregon.
All the while, Kreston never stops playing her beloved violin, and, in time, she finds her way back, making it to the top of the classical music world. She writes candidly about struggling with years of infertility and the challenges of being a mother with a performance career. When she moves her young family to Germany, she fights to stay true to herself, and maintain her marriage, amid the never-ending pressure of the string quartet. Told with warmth and wit (Kreston once gets out of a traffic ticket by playing “Danny Boy” for the Irish cop), Crescendo is an honest, and ultimately celebratory, reflection on art, ambition, and the choices that compose a life.
